ok this one if for all ya'll turbo experts .... and before ya'll all go say do some research. I am just looking for some more infor i might have over looked...


know as some of ya'll know i'm not a big fan of the swap but i am planning on building a 7afte.. now here is my question... well its 3

1. Have any of you seen or made a turbo that has a self contining oil system. As to were the oil is taking from some where else that not the engine oil pan.

2. Have you made a tubo box? That is a box that keep the heat sounder around the turbo and out of the engine bay. and so how did you and of what did you make it?

3. Has anyone tried a Vmount for the intercooler and the radiator?

how is a ball-bearing turbo different? I thought they were pretty much self contained? Or was I led astray?

a ball bearing turbo is what the name implies, a turbo with a ball bearings inside instead of metal bushings.

the cost is more but the turbo is more efficient because its easier to spin the shaft

still needs oil tho, lol
